Do not use automated tools to toot without participating in the community. It is fine to post with an automated tool so long as you are an active member of the Mastodon.Beer community and respond to replies you receive here. Unmonitored accounts that post automatically are not acceptable.

Please post in English, at least for initial posts. The admin only speaks English. Until or unless that changes, this will make dealing with any issues or concerns simpler.

Do not post spam. Toots that are nothing other than a link and/or contain an inordinate number of hashtags are spam, as does any overly commercial self-promotion. (It is fine to toot about your own projects and share what you are excited to be working on — just keep the toot itself interesting).

Do not post about inflammatory, controversial subjects without a Content Warning. Content Warnings are also a kindness. Think of them as opt-in hash tags that might save someone creating an opt-out via a filter.

Do not engage in name calling, ad hominem attacks, or any other uncivil behaviour; criticize ideas, never people. You do not have to be nice, you are asked to try to be kind.

Do not tone police. Toots may violate the standards of civility we set on Mastodon.Beer, but you should not criticize users for their tone. Report them or feel free to block them. In neither case should you criticize their tone.
